We had an amazing time at Stonefield Castle. The food, service, and room were all excellent. We would definitely recommend it to anyone contemplating a stay there. Thank you to all the staff for making the Hogmanay break a very memorable one.
Fab time as always, great food as always first class, and truly great staff
We had the most wonderful Christmas break at Stonefield - before we left we were talking about booking again! The atmosphere was so festive, the food and drinks were amazing and every single person working made us feel so welcome and nothing was ever too much. They are extremely dog friendly too, our Border Collie loved every minute! As mentioned, all the staff were fantastic but a special shout to the Restaurant manager (we think Grady from Australia), reception manager, Marica and the barmen that worked our entire stay (we didn't catch his name but he makes a fabulous cocktail!). Everyone worked so hard and we really are very grateful for how wonderful they made our stay and Christmas! We will definitely be back. Viki, Chris & Fynn Kelly
